You are making some pretty big assumptions. Many supervisors that were selected volunteered as MSF to go on the road forever.Others were probably faster at filling out the online questionare. Many that have great qualifications for these positions didn't want them or stated that they wanted to see the operation first. NCS Pearson hired HR people who knew little about security and it shows. Those that are more qualified should not hold their breath for promotions because they will probably die first.
